Steering Wheel And Steering Wheel Console; Differential Lock; Adjusting The Cutting Height; Fuelling - Husqvarna PT26 D Operator's Manual

10. Steering wheel and steering wheel console

The position of the steering wheel can be adjusted
vertically. The mounting for the steering unit in the
steering column can be adjusted vertically.
Depress the lever (49) and fold the steering wheel
console to one side to facilitate entering the driver's
seat. The steering wheel console can be adjusted
lengthways.
See "40-51. Warning lamps" on page 24.
The headlights are set using the knob in the position
closest to the driver. In the second position the range
of the lighting will decrease.

11. Differential Lock

The differential lock is electro-hydraulic. It is operated
by a pedal controlled switch. The differential lock only
works longitudinally, it ensures operation on at least
one front wheel and one rear wheel. This means that
you can turn the machine with engaged differential
lock without causing any interruptions in the power
transmission or damage to the lawn.
As the differential lock is not mechanical, it can be
engaged or disengaged without limitation, even when the
machine freewheels or in the event of wheel spin. When
the pedal is released, the differential lock disengages
without the driver having to carry out any other
operations. The differential lock only works at low speed
and is active both up and down slopes.

Adjusting the cutting height

.
The cutting height adjustment allows the cutting height
to be adjusted in seven different positions 25.4 mm -
127 mm (1" - 5").
In order to obtain an even cutting height, it is important
that the settings are in the same positions and the air
pressure is the same in the front wheels, 100 kPa /
1.0 bar / 14.5 PSI and in the cutting unit's pivot wheels
150 kPa / 1.5 bar / 21,7 PSI
When the adjustments have been made, the cranks
should be released using the button in the crank and set
to a position that does not catch on any bushes or similar.

13. Fuelling

The fuel level in the tank is indicated in the sight glass.
Do not fill the tank completely, leave an area of at least 2.5 cm (1").
Fill the fuel tank with diesel. Do not use petrol under
any circumstances.
Use fuel with a cetane rating of above 45. Max RME
mixture 5 % in mineral oil based fuels. Aviation kerosene
(JP5, JP8 and Jet-A) can be used if lubricant additives
are used, but the starting ability may be affected. JP4 is
not recommended. Unmixed RME can be used.
